NBC’s same-day vs. DVR ratings for the full 2016-17 TV season

Share this:

Here are the same-day, Live +3 and Live +7 adults 18-49 ratings for every show that aired on NBC in the 2016-17 season. Same-day ratings are for all new episodes aired in-season (Sept. 19, 2016-May 24, 2017), including those coded as specials. DVR ratings may not include episodes coded as specials. Summer shows that aired one or two episodes in season aren’t included.

Highest-rated shows: NBC’s Sunday and Thursday NFL franchises were the biggest two shows on all of broadcast TV last season. Freshman hit “This Is Us” was the top non-sports performer and came pretty close to “Thursday Night Football” after a week of DVR viewing (4.8 vs. 5.2).

Biggest rise in the rankings: “The Blacklist” jumped from 19th on the network the night it aired to 11th after three days of delayed viewing. It moves into the top 10 in Live +7.

Biggest fall (excluding sports and news): Game show “The Wall” had a respectable 1.5 same-day rating. It didn’t grow much in either Live +3 or Live +7, falling from eighth to 17th place.
